Bio: 36 years in Mainframe Systems Programming. First computer was CARDIAC - Bell Labs educational 'toy' in 1964. Did time as Tech support for Telecomm for GTE so I can actually relate to much of the ISP. I also experience the 'oh, you know computers, can you fix my...'. This site is a scream! BOFH is funny, but these are real ID10Ts

lol glad you liked AArdvarks on Lithium -GefahrMaus
Thanks for the Karma! It's very appreciated. -TechOgre
Nice to see you. At first I thought you were my deskmate at Earthlink in the PNW because he was a tie-dyed dinosaur... but unlike him, you sound competent. :) -Mushroom
Congratulations on the star! :) Do you need bigger tie-dye now? ;-) -halfstarfish
I'm submitting a SF hieroglyph of an "L" on a forehead that represents the sound "Daaaaaaaaaaaah" (you must drool slightly for proper pronunciation.). -VIPERsssss
Wow, I don't see a Goodrich very often. That's my maiden name. -JustAGirl
Thanks, TDD for explaining that to me in the comments to Galandar's 420 Day post. I'm not sure why I thought you couldn't be allergic to it....Must be my starfish genes acting up again! :D -halfstarfish
"R & R the Karma Kritters", eh? You are bad. -VERY- bad. I like that. Thanks for the grin out of a shit situation, it helps. 1. The DSL issue got sorted out, I guess: I can resolve TSC out of the nowmal DNS servers now. 2. The wake is tomorrow, the funeral is Wed. 3. DSL JUST got finished being fixed. -Grue
to answer your question about my graphic...no, i made that in photoshop -LaFiamma
and thank you :-) -LaFiamma

Saw your post on Lapsang Souchong (sorry, variant spelling. I got it from James Michener's "Centennial"). Where did you hear of it/first try it? I like it plain, just long steeped. -CTYankee
About the integrated circuit tube--closest thing I can think of would be a 5-in-1 tube made in Germany in the '20's. The thing had all the elements to receive signals at loudspeaker volume. Here's a link to them; http://home.snafu.de/wumpus/3nf.htm -vacuumtubes
Thank you so much for that link, It made me smile :) -THETECHFROMHELL
Thanks for removing the post - I appreciate it. ;-) -Gromit
Re: Comment on "dad LART": Nope, it's just slow ;) -linuxmatt
Looks like it's you vs me in Chess now. Need your e-mail to set it up on the site, or you can set it up and add me in - swedishcheftsc @ gmail. com -SwedishChef
LOL @ setting margins for callers. -concept14
[DO you think there is something to Nietzche's observation that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger? Maybe tech'ing works that way too!] - Nietzche not only knew what he was talking about, I may have tipped the scale MUCH further in that direction than he would have imagined. -ShujinTribble
Regarding the ambansire, post. Useless Hotmail interface. No IP, e-mail notification actually coming from TSC anyways, and a generic gmail addy. Troll. You know it, I know it, everybody else knows it. -deskmonkey
Sorry I haven't moved in a while. I just haven't had a chance to move yet. If I end up not moving... you'll win anyways. -ShiftedBeef
You know what? I'll forfeit. I've been pretty lazy at moving since I lost my drive for chess. I'll do that sometime today. -ShiftedBeef
Whoa. It's full of spinning colors. I must be having a flashback. Too much LDS in my younger days as I'm seeing big ass stars. Congrats TTD. -Rabbitt
Yeah... I'm still going to say forfeit. I have an online course that needs my attention first. Sorry bout that. -ShiftedBeef
TD, my first comp was CARDIAC as well. I managed to get a "new" copy of it a few years back, and it's still as clever as it was all those years ago. Thanks for the mammaries, errrr memories. (BOOBIES!) -SalParadise
I also nuke 'em till they glow!! <TechOgre recalls happy days of Ogre Minitures and future as SJGames MiB> -TechOgre
What the hell does it matter to you if I use the word fucknugget or loser?? JACKASS!! >:( -mousie
Is there any way I can delete the above comment? It was uncalled for. I'm sorry. =( -mousie
Game on. I'm assuming you're ok with playing on the soundkeepers site, so I'll set a game up there. -JH
Game is set up. You should have received an e-mail from "HighSociety" or something like that with the link in it. Good luck. -JH
You wound me sir, this is my second renewal (and 3rd t-shirt, oh what shall it be? What indeed?). Many thanks for the (re)welcome though. ;> -Cybersaurus
Thanks! -NightSteel
Yeah I got the info. Can't play it at work (websense). Also this weekend is going to be hard as I have funerals to attend. I will try to make a move tonight. -redimpulse
ROFL @ shredded metaphors. -concept14
HAHA no... -Caboose447
I just got it today; haven't had a chance to check my email lately. Now what do I do? -Frazzled
nice to your your Butt back in stellar conditions. -Harm
Well as a dinosaur one would expect you to have a big butt but that's just humongous! -Rabbitt
Good to see your butt back up to "normal" size for a Dinosaur. Congrats on the new/returned star! -ManyHats
Even after he retired Barneys butt never got that big.! -Darkridr
Do you have an extra brain in that big butt? ;) 'Gratz on the star, dude! -Ulfgaard
Forget a "dogfood" pizza. Make a sandwich with a cat turd covered in mustard or catsup then tell all after it dissappears. -atomicbill
Thank you for your support. It helps to know that we're all looking out for each other here. =) -beerman
I swear I had nothing to do with any of Riff's...ummm...proclivities. (http://www.techcomedy.com/single/new_stories.php?content_number=70059) -missourimule
TDD: If you want the drivers for your HP Media Center, let me know. I already downloaded them for this PC, I can get them to you somehow. I still haven't test them yet, I'm waiting for the customer to approve the return to XP. Cheers. Ghost. -TheGhost
Your mother-in-law's name is Fay, like the hurricane...my mother-in-law's name is Sue, like the T-Rex on display at the museum in Chicago... -persephone
Wow...i'm stunned and thankful for the acknowledge at the soapbox request...though just to let you know...i'm a guy :) -CrystalMare
Time to upgrade? ;-) -Divinar
Just read my white board, saw your post. You're just up the road from me. I live in snoho so it's nice know there are some other TSCers close by, -areatech
Write on my Whiteboard, it will get posted and e-mailed to me.
